idk... I believe there should be some restrictions.

Like seriously, only a crazed killer would own or make one of these:

The only gun law I can support is background checks.

 

I do however believe there should be requirements for concealed carry. Training 4 times a year, and it comes with a tax break of 25%, upon submission of training certificates.

I think everyone should be required to have military service & after completing a minimum service time, they should be able to own anything they want because they had the best understanding of firearms.

 

What better homeland security than a population armed to the teeth with military training?

 

EDIT:
I can see this can become political very fast so please don't at me on this one.

Forced into being the state's bitch? Definitely not.

I shouldn't have to complete something special in order to exercise my rights.

Quick friendly reminder to not be political

Should we choose to, mind if we continue this in private messages? I ask because I've recently had... issues with status updates.

I won’t report you if you message me with politics but I’m not interested in discussing it any further. 

 

I think PMs are free reign unless one party reports iirc. They’re not monitored. 

 

Im watching John wick again. I am waiting for when he goes to the underground and shoots all the guys with his M4 & then I’m going to look for parts recommended by guys earlier to see how much it’d cost to make a look alike. 

Failing that I might make the M4 from the first level of MW3 when you’re in NYC & your humvee is sideways.

If both parties are fine to discuss it in private messages, it's all fair game in my opinion.

 

The issues arise when it stops being a discussion and devolves into name-calling, personal attacks, and so forth.

I actually have not seen any of those movies. I know the basic premise is Good Guy Keanu goes on a killing spree because some people killed his dog(or at least that's what I've gathered from internet memes), but are they any good?

Story is generic “russian bad guys.” All the russian is very good. 

I think John wick 2 is the best. All the shooting sequences are good. 

John wick trained for a long time with one of the best shooting instructors to prepare for this movie series. 

 

Know the story is dumb, just watch the action & it’s a good movie. 

 

Some of the fist fighting keanu would definitely have died from or suffered extended incapacitation, but if you let that slide I love the action scenes. Best in any movie. 

Also lots of realism & techniques advanced police might know.

It's a little more complex than that, but "dog died must kill" does get you the tl;dr.
Depends on if it's your type of movie. It's stylized Hollywood gunplay, good guy takes on the world and wins with naught more than a few boo-boos (or, what ultimately amounts to "tis but a flesh wound").
It's a good action movie, if you like action movies. Much like Red Dawn was, is, John Wick is a gun guy's "boog" movie. Keanu put a non trivial amount of time behind competition shooting to prepare for his role, and it shows. His form isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than what Hollywood usually gives us.

Ordered first range bag

Speaking of clearing houses. I need to practice clearing out my apartment with my 870.  I have an old BCI trade in (North Dakota's version of the FBI if you will) 870 Wingmaster.  Has iron sights, holds 4+1 rounds.  19.5" barrel. 

 

Very similar to this.  

Anyways, I bought it as a home defense shotgun, I need to practice clearing my apartment with it, as it sits by my bedside and it's my "bump in the night" gun.

 

 

Also Friday I'm going up to walmart to buy Paper Mario, I'll stop at Scheels and Spartan Arms to look at both new and used Glock 19s.

Good to know.

 

And yes, the movies are really quite good for action movies. Judging by the standard of other movies that have been coming out, they're f**king 10/10.

was looking at this

The TLR1 absolutely fit's the standard glock rail, Glocks do not have a proprietary rail setup. Here's a pic of a TLR1 on a G19:

 

 

However, if you have a few extra bucks, the Surefire X300U is a better light than the Streamlight. 

 

My G19.4 with Surefire X300U-A

 

The restrictions you see are ITAR, as an american you can buy it, own it, and use it, however if you cross an international border with it, you could get into some trouble with the US State Department.

We SERIOUSLY need to get a handle on Congress and the entire Federal government. They've lost sight of who they actually serve.

 

I suggest we stop paying them. Or allowing them to hold office. Or walk freely for that matter.

I dont own anything that can be used to make a gun.  I have a CNC machine for mechanical parts.

Reality though, they would have to outlaw a hammer and pliers then.  You can make a gun out of a coconut, saw it on Gilligan's Island once.

carbon, metal, wood, sulfur, flint, steel, fire.

 

It's like that time the guy tried to make water illegal.

 

edit:
Talking on the concept of manufacturing firearms this is a cool video on the subject:

Anyone have much experience with copper-polymer ammo?  I just picked up a box at the store last week.  Fired a mag through my SR9, seemed to fire pretty well.  Haven't had an opportunity to look up penetration videos on them, but curious to see what you guys think of them.
